✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator remains warm or has erratic cooling
- Defrost cycle does not operate properly, potentially causing frost buildup
- Compressor or cooling loads may not start or may cycle abnormally
- Repeated clicking or a blank display may occur when the control board fails
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the refrigerator is receiving power and that the circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped.
- With power disconnected, inspect the control-board wiring connectors for looseness, visible damage, or corrosion; do not remove or modify wiring while energized.
- Use the refrigerator’s model-specific service-diagnostic procedure to check cooling and defrost functions when that procedure is available.
- Before attributing the symptom to the control board, verify that obvious external causes such as blocked airflow, an open door, or incorrect temperature settings are not present.
- Do not perform energized voltage measurements unless qualified and equipped to do so; Whirlpool technical documentation reserves such measurements for authorized service technicians.
